Frozen Window
by @mysticravenA shy literature student is forced to share a dorm with Adrian Vale—the older hockey captain who brings a different girl back every weekend. After a brutal winter argument, Adrian pins Elias against the frozen dorm window and kisses him while snow falls outside. By the end of the semester, they stop pretending they are just roommates.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Elias Voss
A 19-year-old literature student with ink-stained fingers and storm-gray eyes that seem to hold entire unwritten poems. He has the kind of quiet beauty that goes unnoticed until you catch him reading in the corner of a library—then it becomes impossible to look away. Thin-shouldered from years hunched over books, with chestnut hair that falls into his face when he's nervous, which is most of the time.
Adrian Vale
A 21-year-old hockey captain built like a weapon—broad shoulders, thick thighs, hands that have broken bones on the ice but tremble when they accidentally brush Elias in the dark. He has sharp blue eyes that seem to cut through everyone except the one person he actually wants to see. Dark hair perpetually messy, jaw perpetually clenched, the kind of handsome that's dangerous because he knows exactly what it can get him—until it can't get him Elias.

The Threshold Breaks
Adrian closes the distance, but when his lips meet Elias's, it's not rough like the hockey captain Elias expected—it's trembling, almost reverent, like he's asking permission even after crossing the l
Letters on Skin
I shift, sliding my palm beneath the hem of his shirt, feeling the heat of his skin and the tremor that runs through him at the contact. He watches me with those sharp blue eyes gone dark and uncertai
Salt and Ink
Adrian's hand traces the waistband of Elias's jeans with excruciating patience, his thumb dipping just beneath the fabric to find the sharp jut of hipbone, the soft skin there. Elias arches into the t
